Abstract

Historically, the stock market has had a significantly lower weight than the national financial market. Given this reality, it appears the need to push through regulatory reform a legal scheme that effectively achieves the objective of enhancing the stock market as an area of significant importance for the interaction of economic actors and the consequent emphasis on productive activity. In this context, it is important to show which are the suggested changes for the current system, actors involved in the stock market, inclusion of smaller suppliers, various marketable securities, transparency, requirements and essential guarantees, among others aspects.
